Overall + Guess: This is nice, but runs a bit hotter than I would like. Seems a hair young. Nice fruits, the spice seems to be telling. The nose was probably my favorite part. I’m going to guess this is WT distillate, either a Kentucky Spirit release or maybe something like Ripy, if I’m remembering the proof right. Guessing this is 5-7 years old, 50% ABV to 53% ABV.

Reveal: Knob Creek Single Barrel Reserve Rye “Brown Butter Cookie”, Wine and Whiskey Country Selection. I feel pretty good about this reveal in that I got the age right on, proof close and generally thought this leaned in the spicy rye direction although I wavered and tagged it as a Turkey. Lots more to learn about these Knob Creek Single Barrels.
